Our Mixed Flock Journey!

Speaking only for myself, I whine a lot.

Hilarious - I will give that a go this winter and see if it helps.

At last, someone who understands

We have a wind chill warning this morning:

It's just stupid cold!

And we’re getting ANOTHER hurricane

Temps are dropping here! We haven't blown out the water lines yet, so hubby turned on a treeline and opened hose bibs! Our temps will be jumping up to almost 60 in a few days! We had to add water bowls into the rabbit hutches, but the water nipples for the chickens are still fine! We will get their heated water system set up before the weather stays cold for good!

Looks chilly but very pretty!!

But remember, the ones with thorns taste better! I have mine in a raised bed which keeps them somewhat contained.

Now this is becoming a debate., thorns or no thorns. Hmmmm

Aren't animals great @ communicating with us?! And we're so flattered we accommodate them!

That is so true. I get so excited when I translate what they want that I immediately give in!

I have a long time friend in the States who breeds & raises show rabbits as well as bunnies for the table. I do find it rather hard to wrap my head around the whole idea when you can go out & shoot them for free here.

And here as well. There are tons of them available too.

We raised, sold and ate meat rabbits when we had our little farm in Florida. And so did other people we knew, mostly on a small scale as a way of supplementing income and food for the table. It also wasn't unusual to see meat rabbits for sale at our local farmer's market, just like you'd see produce or canned goods for sale.

One guy we knew had a huge rabbitry business, he supplied rabbit meat to a couple of local restaurants. He was able to make a decent living off that.

You can speak for me too...I'm definitely a whiner and my temps aren't anywhere close to yours...

Hopefully you can stay inside...that's downright dangerous! Definitely soup weather...

I hope it skirts by you again. I will be glad when hurricane season ends! Other than that...how is everything going?
